"Princes can't!" Hearing Guan Yu's words, Ma Liang was shocked: "The Northern Expedition is a big event, how can it be hasty?" Besides, Jiangdong is eyeing each other, I only have 50,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, if the prince takes most of them, Jiangdong will attack, Jingzhou is in danger, how can I deal with the aftermath?

Besides, now that the lord has won a series of battles in Hanzhong, I don't have to respond in Jingzhou, I just need to defend it. When the lord succeeds in capturing Guanzhong in the future, it will be the time for my Northern Expedition in Jingzhou. ”

Guan Yu heard Ma Liang's words, frowned, and said unhappily: "Ji Chang, I haven't sent troops yet, why do you say such frustrating words?" At that time, the military division also said in Longzhong that the Northern Expedition needed to be carried out simultaneously, and the eldest brother led the army out of Qinchuan, sent a general out of Wanluo, and I led the army to attack Fancheng. ”

Ma Liang defended: "Of course, the military advisor Longzhong said so, but there is also a premise, that is, Donghe Sun Quan, and Sun Quan are on good terms, so that I Jingzhou can synchronize the Northern Expedition with the lord."

However, now, Sun Quan only has one state, and he is eyeing my Jingzhou, although he is friendly on the surface, but secretly he has coveted Jingzhou for a long time, so Jingzhou really can't synchronize the Northern Expedition with the lord. It was precisely because of this that the main prince army division did not let the prince and marquis respond synchronously before setting out on the expedition!

If Jiangdong has Jingnan and Jiaozhou at this moment, the lord is only the Northern Expedition to Hanzhong and not the Northern Expedition to Guanzhong, and the situation is unfavorable to the lord, and the forces of the two sides are equal. At this time, Sun Quan may have joined forces with the prince to attack Cao Cao in order to balance Cao Cao. But now that Sun Quan is too weak, he will not sit idly by and watch the success of the Northern Expedition of the Lord Prince! ”

"Why didn't I Jingzhou get along with Jiangdong?" Guan Yu said unhappily: "Before the military advisor left Jingzhou, let me Dong and Sun Quan, these years are the New Year's holidays, I also sent a messenger to visit Sun Quan to make friends, now Lu Su is seriously ill, Lu Meng is dismissed, and the new governor Lu Xun has always been friendly with us."

I endured the matter of Sun Quan's marriage for his son, and I didn't kill the messenger, how can I befriend Sun Quan? Is it possible that I still have to write a letter to flatter him? Could it be that I still have to give up Jingnan and Jiaozhou to him? ”

"Prince, befriending Sun Quan is only an expedient measure, and the strategy of befriending Sun Quan must be implemented until the lord is strong enough to deal with Sun Quan and Cao Cao at the same time.

That Sun Quanshu is not good for attacking Hefei, and if he wants to be strong, he will naturally covet Jingzhou, which has to be guarded against. Strategist...... Persuade the prince! Ma Liang really didn't know how to persuade Guan Yu, so he touched Pang Tong and asked Pang Tong to persuade Guan Yu.

"Yun Chang!" Seeing this, Pang Tong smiled and said: "In today's situation, it is true that the Northern Expedition cannot be made, because Cao Cao has already joined forces with Sun Quan. ”

"Oh?" Pang Tong's words, Guan Yu still had to listen to them, and he was puzzled when he heard this: "Why did the military advisor say this? Since the elder brother took Hanzhong, first Sun Quan attacked Hefei, and then Cao Cao attacked Weixu, the two sides have a deep hatred, how can they unite? ”

Pang Tong said with a smile: "Sun Quan is not the lord, and he does not have a deep hatred with Cao Cao, and it is not unusual to unite for the sake of interests." According to my speculation, Cao Cao should have colluded with Sun Quan last year. ”

Guan Yu said with a stunned look on his face: "Last year? ”

Pang Tong nodded and said, "Yes, it was last year!" Last year, Lu Su was seriously ill, and I suspected that Jiangdong was intending to raid Jingzhou, so I wrote to Lu Su to test it, saying that I would send someone to Yizhou to ask a miracle doctor to come and see Lu Su. Lu Su said that the miracle doctor was old, he was just a minor illness, and he didn't dare to trouble the miracle doctor for a long distance, so he refused. ”

"Lu Su's illness dragged on until last winter, and Lu Meng was suddenly drunk and murdered and was dismissed, and replaced Lu Meng with a scholar, I was even more suspicious, and wrote to Sun Quan, asking him if he wanted a miracle doctor. However, Sun Quan also refused. ”

Pang Tong smiled and said, "Who is Lu Su?" Jiangdong's Optimus Pillar, when Zhou Yu was seriously ill, Sun Quan took the initiative to borrow a miracle doctor, and now Lu Su is seriously ill, I took the initiative to lend it to him, they don't want it, doesn't Yun Chang feel strange? ”

Hearing this, Guan Yu nodded and said, "Yes, this is indeed a bit strange!" Just by relying on this incident alone, how can it be proved that Cao Cao colluded with Sun Quan to be detrimental to my Jingzhou? ”

On Cao Cao's side, Guan Yu can only afford Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Jiangdong, Guan Yu can only look down on Lu Su, and he doesn't even take Zhou Yu seriously. Now that Sun Quan rejected Pang Tong's proposal, Guan Yu also felt that things were a little strange because he took a fancy to Lu Su.

Pang Tong explained: "Lu Su's illness is only one of the suspicions, Lu Meng was drunk and murdered, which is the second, Lu Meng has a stable personality, has the style of a general, and has strict military discipline on weekdays, soldiers can't drink, as a general, how can he be drunk and murderous?"

The third is Lu Xun, Lu Xun is unknown, I don't know how many Jiangdong seniors are higher than Lu Xun, why did Sun Quan send Lu Xun to replace Lu Meng?

The last point is Xu Huang, Xu Huang was transferred to Fancheng at the beginning of this year, at that time, the lord had not yet gone on the Northern Expedition, Cao Cao could not predict the prophet, knowing that he would be defeated in Guanzhong, so send Xu Huang to Fancheng in advance to help in the war, let him attack Shangyong, right?

You must know that Xu Huang is the general of Cao Jun, and it is more appropriate to put it in Guanzhong than in Fancheng? ”

Guan Yu took a deep breath, although he still had doubts about this, Pang Tong was also one of the few people he admired. He asked, "Then I don't know what the military advisor suggests?" ”

Pang Tong muttered: "It is naturally the safest to act according to Ji Chang's strategy, but I don't plan to do this!" ”

Guan Yu said: "Please teach the military teacher!" ”

Pang Tong pondered and said: "In this way, Yun Chang, you lead 30,000 troops to attack Fancheng, to save Shangyong, Fancheng can also fight a dozen, if you can capture Fancheng, it is naturally the best, so that the south of Wancheng belongs to the lord."

However, I expected that Cao Cao still had reinforcements in the rear of Wancheng, and Cao Ren was good at defending it, so it was unlikely that he would succeed. Yun Chang mainly saved Shangyong, and attacked Fancheng as the second, if he could conquer Fancheng, he would be stationed in Fancheng, and there was no need to continue the Northern Expedition.

If Cao Cao has reinforcements, Yun Chang, you will retreat to Xiangyang, pay close attention to the situation in Jingzhou, I will take 20,000 horses to watch Jiangdong, once the situation changes, Yun Chang, you will lead troops to help. This time, we are still focusing on Jiangdong, so that he will covet Jingzhou in the future! ”

"Okay?" Guan Yu slapped the table and said: "A group of rats in Jiangdong have repeatedly coveted my Jingzhou, if Sun Quan really dares to lead his troops to attack this time, I have to cross the river and kill Sun Quan'er!"

The congregation will obey the order! ”

The generals came out: "The end will be!" ”

Guan Yu said to the generals: "Tomorrow, I will raise 30,000 troops to rescue Shangyong, Guan Ping, Guan Xing, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Zhao Lei, and Wang Fu will go out with me and join the army with Ma Liang!"

The military division led 20,000 troops to defend Jingzhou, and I left Mi Fang, and Ma Jian assisted the military division! ”
